Context of Psalms 106:5

3Blessed are those who keep justice, And he who does righteousness at all times! 4Remember me, O Lord, with the favor You have toward Your people. Oh, visit me with Your salvation, That I may see the benefit of Your chosen ones, That I may rejoice in the gladness of Your nation, That I may glory with Your inheritance. 6We have sinned with our fathers, We have committed iniquity, We have done wickedly. 7Our fathers in Egypt did not understand Your wonders; They did not remember the multitude of Your mercies, But rebelled by the sea—the Red Sea.
